Comments
We noticed lots of sizable natural avalanche activity in the Wellsville Range. A huge crown from a natural avalanche is visible from Wellsville in Rattlesnake Canyon.
Comments
We went up to visit the avalanche site on 1-13-23... The crown of this avalanche on the Rattlesnake Headwall was quite fresh and so was the dryer debris, overrunning the lightly snow covered chunky, icy debris from the previous avalanche off Mitton Peak's broad shoulder
